Hello!
I've recently been considering MC for continual pain I've been getting in my fingers for the past 20 years.
I first spoke to a GP about this about 15 years ago.
I have very flexible fingers alongside quite a few breaks over the years. Been referred for rheumatoid check once but thankfully not that.
Over the years they've documented I've took paracetamol, prescribed me 2 different prescription painkillers and I've been referred to and completed occupational therapy for this.
However I've never seemingly gotten a diagnosis. My GP health record just says joint pain in fingers. Last time I went to the GP (before I was considering MC) I queried what is causing this pain as it's never been diagnosed and she just said hyper mobility. But HSD is a known condition and that's never been discussed with me. I can't diagnose myself so not sure what else I can do if I'm continually given treatment options but never a diagnosis.
Is it worth applying without a official diagnosis or would it just be instantly rejected?
